In the first half the game was equal. It was difficult to perform through-balls. The rival played in a very compacted way. The plan was to evolve the game faster. In my opinion, we played well in the second half, we achieved the necessary result. The level of our players had an impact on the final result.

The team has many chances but it does not always convert them. How are you going to solve this problem?
By working, working and working. Each chance appearing in the course of the game must be used in a proper way on a training session.

What is the reason of Ismail Isa’s absence?
He fell ill.

In the end of the first half there was made a forced substitution of Jhulliam for another player. How serious is his injury?
We cannot say it right now. There will be a medical examination. We talked to him and he said he felt discomfort. We decided to substitute him in order not to make the injury more serious.

Europa League match with “Tromsø” takes place in Norway and you probable learnt the rival well. What strong qualities does this team have?
It is a very organized team. I would not say that “Tromsø” plays in the Scandinavian style. They deliver passes well and control the ball. They perform quite dangerous shots from set pieces; therefore we will pay more attention to that. We will do everything in order to play our game and not to adjust to anyone. We will try to control the ball because it is our strongest quality. Our players are more technical and fast. We would like to impose our game on the rival.
